Apparent Meth Lab Reported at UCF Apartment Complex
Crime, News, Safety, Videos — By Staff on July 15, 2010 at 11:20 amHere’s an excerpt from the OCSO report explaining how the bust went down:
On 7/14/10 at 1745 hrs I responded to 12024 Royal Wulff Lane in reference to a Suspicious Incident at 12128
Green Badger Lane #1170. I met with reporter, Tiffany S. Irizarry, who is a manager at the Campus Crossing
apartment complex. Ms. Irizarry verbally stated she called in reference to suspicious items found inside apartment
#1170.

Ms. Irizarry provided a sworn written statement including the following information: On 7/14/10 she was informed
by a “current resident” of apartment #1170 that reported to the office that there were materials within the apartment that brought concern. Ms. Irizarry walked through the unit (#1170) to take pictures of the chemicals that were reported. Kinnan (Leasing Manager) and Ms. Irizarry walked the unit and took pictures of the “chemicals” located in the kitchen. When she and Kinnan returned to the office (12024 Royal Wulff Lane) they looked up the “chemicals” and realized they could be consistent with the ingredients needed to “cook crystal methamphetamine”. She then proceeded to call the non emergency number to get further instruction on what to do.
Ms. Irizarry printed out several picture she took inside apartment #1170 depicting frozen bottles, paint thinners,
and a plastic bottle with handwritten chemical placard and “Methanol” written on side.
A command post was established at the clubhouse of Campus Crossings at 12024 Royal Wulff Lane. A perimeter
was set.
Narcotics units responded and took over the investigation. Photographs taken by Ms.Irizarry were collected and will be entered into evidence.

Let me clear some things up for everyone. THere was only one person arrested for the Meth lab “Cecil” the other two were just there. they had nothing to do with the lab. And this isnt the first raid to happen in here, there have been others. The apartments managers had to say it was a gas leak due to the chemicals found. The three roommates that moved into this apartment had nothing to do with this they just moved in two weeks ago. since this is an ongoing investigation that means it must have been going on since before they moved in.
hope that clears some stuff up for everyone.
I don’t get it — the other room-mates aren’t being charged…how was this guy cooking meth without them knowing? He must have not been cooking it in the kitchen then (hot plates in bedroom?), because I’m pretty sure I’d know what’s up if all that sh*t was in the dining room and that pot was on the stove.
Hey last night sucked…but I will say that it was nice to see the workers here late trying to help the best they could…they got soda and pizza for us while we waited which wasnt a lot, but it was something. I saw a few of them here at like 2AM talking to the police still trying to get updates for us. I can’t believe someone would be stupid enough to do this.
This is the first time something like this has happened here…and I don’t think it has anything to do with the complex or rent amount. This guy is a chem major at UCF. He could’ve been living at any of the complexes in the area.
I live in Campus Crossings and this is insane. My personal advice is to not move into these apartments… this is not the first time I have seen dangerous events like this take place. The rent is cheap and there is a reason why!
My boyfriend lives two doors down from the apparent methlab apartment. They evacuated him at 5:00 and now it’s 10:30 and he still is not able to go back to his apartment. The police wouldn’t let him get his car either and he had to call off work. This is ridiculous that because of some idiots everyone else has to suffer the inconvenience.
thank god i am not living here next year. i live on green badger lane but on the part that wasnt blocked off. people are so stupid.
Lex,
The didnt wanna tell me anything either. But from other people that I have talked to that were evacuated it is all happening at a building on Green Bagger lane…. Apparently there were 3 guys arrested for a meth lab… Hopefully the office will tell us something in the morning. I think we all deserve to know what the heck is going on…. I want a refund on my rent this month. I want to move out of here ASAP!!!
I live at campus crossings. Does anyone have any more information? No one will tell us anything.
Ah, that explains the helicopter that was idling here above The Edge.
